Sustainable Dining

    "Think globally. Act locally."

Avon Old Farms is committed to being a member of the "Green School Alliance". We believe it is important to "think green" and be mindful of our use of the earth's natural resources. Our goal is to reduce food waste and encourage best practices like reducing, reusing and recycling.

Our goal is to reduce or eliminate the use of disposable plastic and paper products. We will strive to use all washable, reusable glasses, coffee mugs, flatware, plates and bowls.

We will continue our commitment of recycling all cardboard, metal cans, plastic containers, and glass from our kitchen.

We will continue to be frugal and practice conservation in our use of natural resources such as food, paper, water, and electricity.

We hope to develop a composting program that will divert pre- and post - consumer food scraps from the waste stream and into our own composting bin.

If you observe further ways to improve sustainability in the dining areas, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Kirschner.
